PUMPKIN GOOEY BUTTER CAKE (PAULA DEEN)
I originally submitted this without trying it, as it was in response to a request. I finally got around to trying it last week, and realized there was a mistake, as the ingredients in the cake part should have read: 8 tablespoons butter, melted. Also, you can't "pour" the cake into the pan it has to be patted into the pan like a pie crust. Anyway, here is the revised version. I also cut down on the sugar, using about 12 ounces or 3/4 of the box. This is awesome-a Paula Deen classic!

SWISS STEAK (PAULA DEEN)
I saw Paula make this on one of her shows last week and it looked delicious! Well, I tried it and it is delicious, so I decided to post it. Note: The recipe calls for 1 round steak, it is necessary to have this steak cubed (tenderized) by the butcher. I used round steak, and pounded the life out of it, and it turned out fine, but I would recommend following Paula's suggestion and having the butcher do it!

THE LADY AND SONS EASY PEACH COBBLER ( PAULA DEEN )
It was an instant hit on the first day Paula Deen offered this dessert at The Lady & Sons, and remains so today. This delicious cobbler can be found on their dessert trays at both lunch and dinnertime. It's so easy to make you won't believe it! COOKS NOTES: If they are available by all means use fresh peaches. In a saucepan, mix two cups fresh peach slices with one cup sugar and one cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. An almost equally good product is frozen peach slices. Simply follow the instructions for the fresh peach slices. NOTE: This is an adopted (late in 2006) recipe and there was already some discussion about the amount of butter necessary in reviews made previous to my inheriting this recipe: Now that I have made it myself, I can say that for me at least, 60 grams (1/4 cup) of butter was fine, (by all means use a little less if you prefer) and my dumplings didn't turn out doughy at all... what I DID mess up was using a larger can of peaches (non-metric sizes of canned fruit don't translate perfectly into metric ones), so I thought that the extra wouldn't matter much, mine was swimming rather a lot in the juice at the bottom and next time I will use all the peaches but only half or 3/4 of the juice from my metric sized can.. Taste was excellent and guests devoured it. I'm delighted to have inherited this recipe, so to both Paula Deen and the previous Zaar owner: Thanks for an excellent recipe !!!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place butter in oven in a 2-quart baking dish to melt.
- Stir sugar and flour together and mix well. Slowly add milk and continue to stir to prevent the batter from lumping.
- Being careful not to burn yourself, remove hot baking dish containing melted butter from oven; pour batter directly over butter in baking dish (DO NOT STIR).
- Spoon fruit on top of batter, then gently pour syrup on top (DO NOT STIR). Sprinkle with cinnamon, if using. The most important part of this dish is not stirring the mixture.
- Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Your batter will rise above your fruit, producing the most wonderful of crusts. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.

CHICKEN ALFREDO WITH CRISPY BACON (PAULA DEEN)
A recipe that I thought sounded delicious from Paula Deen's Comfort Food Magazine. Posting for safe keeping. Update 10/17/2013: Made this for DH and myself, so I made 1/3 of the recipe, but still made 2 pieces of bacon (will even make more next time) and I added some additional heavy cream as we like it creamy. We loved the addition of the bacon, onion and garlic to the normal Chicken Alfredo, DH even went back for seconds.
